You can do a Google query on fucoxanthin supplements and many will come up to choose from. I get mine from Garden of Life.com. The only side affect I have noticed is a brief hot flash about 2 hours after taking it. I believe this is the thermogenic affect on the adipose fat. I dont have much to lose, but I have lost the couple pounds my average weight was putting on. The main reason I take it is for the anti-inflammatory antioxidant affect. I do feel like it has helped with that as well along with my strict adherence to an anti-inflammatory diet.😌🙏

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Indeed it is. I'm 59 at the end of summer and it seems harder each year. I found one all natural ingredient this past winter that definitely helps with that. It is fucoxanthin, a byproduct found in brown seaweed and edible algae. Luckily you font need to eat those directly. You can get it in a supplement form.

Read about the benefits of fucoxanthin in the National Library of Medicine at National Institute of Health.gov. In brief, according to the documentation on that site, it helps burn adipose fat (the stubborn diet induced bad fat around the midsection), regulate blood sugar, repair and protect liver and kidneys, and reduce overall inflammation. It has definitely helped my inflammation level and fat reduction. 😌🙏

Thank You I’m willing to try anything at this point. Loosing weight in the midsection is the hardest ex specially during post menapause.

Physical therapy specific stretches and exercises as well as chiropractic adjustments can alleviate sciatic nerve impingement. Managing/minimizing inflammation through dietary measures is very helpful, even curative for some people. Above all, absolutely do everything you can to keep midsection weight down and strong to keep sciatica and worse at bay. I have heard of people who have low midsection bodyweight have tremendous success and return to full independent mobility from joint fusions. Look for Trent on this site, he may be on my team, to help facilitate your search. The less active you are, the more weight on your midsection, the worse you'll be. Work to increase your abdominal muscle strength, especially your lower abs, as well as your glute (butt muscles) and lower back strength. This will save your independence, continence, and mobility.

Yes the same for myself been dealing with excruciating sciatica pain on/off for the last 6 months or so.. I myself struggle with emotions trying to not let this disease rule my life. It’s extremely hard most days but God my Savior gets me through these difficult 😥 unbearable painful days! Ice n rest are best for me. 😊
